The comments are pretty funny - lots of people saying 'I'm happy someone is getting these vermin off the streets', with the token animal rights interjection ('pigeons are beautiful creatures, blah, blah, blah').

I just keep picturing the pigeon napper from the article in Central Park the next day, planting pigeons for his bird dog.

I work in NYC and think about grabbing a few of the buggers to take home on the train with me. I want to bring my dog into the city and have him snap one up and then walk down teh street with it in his mouth just to see people's reactions...

LOL- a pro I used to train with said he dreamed of inventing a large "pigeon vacuum" and using it to sweep up pigeons in the downtown area.
I have a pigeon trap which I loaned to a colleague to catch the pigeons fouling her car in her carport. I told her that if anyone asked what she was going to do with the birds to tell them that I would be taking them to Fall City and letting them go...at least partially true

An intellectual snob is someone who can listen to the William Tell Overture and not think of The Lone Ranger.

When I was going to U of M for radiation last year, I really wanted to take a net and bird crate. Every day when we came out of the subterranian parking lot, there were lots of fat roof rats mooching tyreats in a small park.

DC is just as bad. When I went there a few years back as a chaperone for my daughters school trim, they werre everywhere. A lot of these urban birds are tooooo fat to really get airborne.
